Having people respond and say that they feel the same way makes me feel less alone, although obviously I wouldn't wish mental illness on anyone. <br /><br />Sometimes it can be difficult to be honest if you think people aren't really listening or caring. I am sorry that you feel like that. That is what can be good about being online. You can connect to people who have the same problems and hopefully will listen,lababuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09870234361069719516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8062705091831264026.post-88547906128323705252014-04-08T11:59:30.079-07:002014-04-08T11:59:30.079-07:00Do you find letting it out a relief ?

If you don't say the truth it's like your sugar coating it . I for one really appreciate you being honest .

I had hoped that people would appreciate a candid outlook on mental illness rather that coming away feeling more depressed than before. lababuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09870234361069719516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8062705091831264026.post-27823442603741697972014-04-08T07:38:08.717-07:002014-04-08T07:38:08.717-07:00Good for you writing about something frightening a...Good for you writing about something frightening and harrowing (great word choice by the way) from your perspective. As a medical student who has struggled with more than merely moderate depression at times, I sympathize and appreciate your candour.

I always feel like I am not helping people if I do. I find balancing honesty and positivity really difficult. Part of me just wants to scream to the world that everything is terrible. But I know that I don't feel so strongly all the time so I try to be balanced. lababuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09870234361069719516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8062705091831264026.post-12425327001496400912014-04-07T13:52:13.615-07:002014-04-07T13:52:13.615-07:00I know exactly what you mean.

Over the weekend I had a very bad lapse into self destructive behaviour, but I am too ashamed to she those gruesome details on my blog.
